There is a lot of innovation here in Tanzania and I was super impressed by this homemade bicycle. At first glance it looks like an average bicycle but on closer look it's difficult to tell if the bike has any original parts or if it's truly a composite of parts. I asked the owner and he said he welded the frame and had the original crankshaft and gears. He said the fork and the handlebars are actually different parts and then he made a custom rack for carrying goods. I respected his single speed gears and for sure his innovation and resourcefulness, although the bicycle is a little heavy, he'll probably get another 20 years out of this thing!
